Top 5 Chunky Chains: Chains of Love

I wish there was a trend for chunky asses, but while we wait for that to come around (and don’t hold your breath), chunky chain necklaces can be an amusing distraction. The phrase “the bigger, the better” certainly applies here! Heavy knit sweaters are comfy winter wear, but don’t let your accessories get lost in the cables. Here are chains at every price point and level of embellishment:

Aurelie Bidermann Long Multi-Link Necklace: Not just any old link necklace, this Aurelie Beidermann is constructed by gold circles designed to look like rope. Best for intimate galas – you don’t want anyone to miss that it’s really gold! At Kirna Zabete for $1,475.

Eddie Borgo Coil Hook-Closure Necklace: Normally reserved for mechanics, brass coil unconventionally becomes the gold-plated hero of this necklace. I love that the design appears looser towards the front for a slinky-like look. At Bergdorf Goodman for $725.
